Stunning CGI although more effort could go into the storyline

Rating: 7/10 (25 December 2014)

Pacific Rim has been on my eye from the moment the trailer first came out, although the effects really didn't disappoint the overall storyline could use more original ideas. After seeing so many positive reviews of Pacific Rim form around the web and close friends it was clear I would have to see it, having known that Del Toro has directed Pacific Rim my expectations were already much higher due to his previous amazing movies(e.g. Pan's Labyrinth, the Devils Backbone, Hellboy). The general concept isn't in anyway bad that has to be stated straight off, but the same repetitive ideas that can be seen in Pacific Rim have previously appeared in the movie industry over and over again. I would still highly recommend this movie. It is a great movie to own and a brilliant movie to watch and add to your collection although perhaps it's not something I would watch consistently once in a while its a great movie to re-watch. Just a shame such a great director didn't see the repetitive features in this movie compared to others, yet still. Its a must see. Great effects, and with a far eye the storyline isn't too bad either with quite a few twists.
